Example 1 : Calculate the quantities of the following items: ( using center line and regular shapes for calculation)

1- Earthwork. 2-Concrete foundation work. 3- squaring Brick 0.6 m and 0.4 m and 0.2 m under DPC.
Solution:
(finding (L) using center line) (finding (L) using regular shape)
1 L = L1 + L2 L = Shapes horizontal + Shapes vertical
L1= 5.7 X 2 = 11.4 m S1=(5.7 + 0.35 + 0.35) X2 = 12.8 m
L2= 4.7 X 2 = 9.4 m S2= (4.7– 0.35 – 0.35)X 2 = 8 m
L= 11.4 + 9.4 = 20.8 m L= 12.8 + 8 = 20.8 m

Example 2 : Calculate the quantities of the following items: ( using center line and regular shapes for calculation)
1- Earthwork. 2-Concrete foundation work. 3- Brick 0.48 m 4. brick 0.36 m under DPC.
Solution: (finding (L) using center line) Circumstance of circle = 2 x 𝜋 x r
L = L1 + L2+ length of curve ‫قانون طول محيط الدائرة‬
L1= 4.2m
L2= 6.1 X 2 = 12.2 m
‫الجدار المقوس يتم حسابه باخذ نصف محيط الدائرة‬
L curve = 2 𝜋 r /2 = 2x3.14x2m/2= 6.28 m
